We enjoyed hosting the Vernon Chamber of Commerce Wake Up Vernon event today at the Vernon High School Media Center. Thanks to all of those who braved the wet weather and joined us. An extra-special thank you Mrs. Audrey Hastings and the students in her culinary arts class who made sausage balls and muffins for the event. They were a HUGE hit!!
Wilbarger General Hospital and the WGH Medical Group are once again ready to provide our VISD athletes with free sports physicals for the 2025-26 school year. If your child will be in the 7th, 9th or 11th grade next year and plan on participating in sports, they MUST have a new sports physical before they will be allowed to practice. Also, regardless of grade, if your child sustained an injury this year that forced them to miss a game, they will also need to take a sports physical. Paperwork has been handed out to students. If it didn't make it home, please contact a coach at your school.
